Although a remote harbor in S City has been completely abandoned, it is surprisingly very tightly guarded. In fact, there is no shortage of these small seaports in coastal cities like S City, some of which were opened up by fishermen themselves in the past, and some were opened up after the founding of the People's Republic of China to cope with the heavy transportation needs. And with the economic development and the leap in infrastructure, on the one hand, it is to save resources, and on the other hand, it is also to facilitate border management. Most of the small seaports have been officially shut down and replaced by large, automated ports capable of berthing hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships.

And this small harbor has become the abandoned batch because of its remote location and single function, which is not suitable for transformation. However, unlike other small harbors, this one was abandoned and closed as a backup military port. In addition to a direct road, a team of soldiers and a missile boat were stationed here, making it a military forbidden place for idlers.

At this moment, the two commissioners of the Sword Pavilion and Wu Qinyuan were sitting in a military vehicle, taking advantage of the night to drive to this port. The trees used for greenery on both sides of the road sped backwards, looking through the car windows like a poorly drawn stop-motion animation. Wu Qinyuan's heart also darkened little by little with the deep night.

"Commissioner Zhang, the investigation has just begun, is it necessary for us to come to see Ren Yuan first?" Wu Qinyuan watched the scenery outside become more and more desolate, and couldn't help but recall many dusty memories that had been sealed for a long time, and asked softly

"It is precisely because the investigation is just about to begin, so we have to seize the time to meet him first, I want to determine his state, whether he can be demoted to J2, if his state is not good, the ministry would rather destroy Ren Yuan first, than release him at this time." Commissioner Zhang replied, "To be honest, I heard that the senior management of the ministry also thinks that Ren Yuan should be wiped out first, after all, the current situation can no longer withstand more blows." ”

Hearing Commissioner Zhang's answer, Wu Qinyuan fell silent, and nothing changed in the end. He once thought that the injured year would make the ministry re-examine how to get along with Inhumans, but the previous conversation with the Commissioner of the Sword Pavilion in the hospital made him realize that unlike the narrow-minded front-line grassroots personnel like him, the Ministry's perception of Inhumans had already set the tone. In retrospect, my initial opinion was nothing more than wishful thinking. And now, in order to deal with the wounded years that he had high hopes for but failed to live up to his expectations, it is very likely that he will free this monster that he deeply dislikes and fears, which is really a great irony to think about.

"It would be nice if we could erase him once and for all." Wu Qinyuan said secretly in his heart, he knew very well why the ministry would choose to promote him to the Blade Brigade known as the "Sword Pavilion". It's nothing more than because he wants him to be Ren Yuan's Long Mu, and Long Mu has always been selected and trained by the Sword Pavilion as the first insurance to hold the chains around the neck of the alien.

Long Mu is carefully selected and cultivated from the descendants of internal personnel, and they have undergone strict screening and evaluation in all aspects of the ministry in the early stage. and then match and cultivate feelings with the aliens who were accepted by the Thunder Dragon Brigade, and finally form a fixed partner. Long Mu is often also the first executor of the Sword Pavilion's plan to deal with the loss of control of the aliens.

But like this, suddenly being transferred to the operation of Long Mu, Wu Qinyuan suspected that he might be the first ever. As for the reason, it is also very simple, the dragon herd is very precious, and it cannot be wasted here. And this kind of behavior that is close to death, it seems that an old man like Wu Qinyuan, who has little time, should give full play to his residual heat.

Wu Qinyuan knew that it was perfectly okay if he refused at that time, and the ministry chose him to take on this job only because after evaluation, he thought that with his relationship with Ren Yuan more than ten years ago, he was the most suitable candidate. But even if he refuses, someone still has to stand up and take on this work, and it is nothing more than arranging another person in the ministry to do it. Since there is always bloodshed, it is not a bad thing for him, an old man who is accustomed to seeing the blood of countless young people, to shed blood for those children.

Now, rather, it's his expectations...

The car was driving fast, and there were no other vehicles on the road leading to the restricted military area. The three people in the car were speechless, and they could only hear the roaring sound of the engine in a monotonous sound. Wu Qinyuan listened and began to miss his old Porsche parked in the traffic police team.

"We're here." Commissioner Li, who was driving, said in a muffled voice, and the front of the car turned and drove off the highway and into a heavily guarded outpost. Two grim-faced sentinels checked the trio's papers, compared their faces, opened the door, and let them in. Behind the gate is a more solid gate and reinforced concrete walls, which resembles an urn city. Three people got out of the car, and an officer with the rank of lieutenant with a detachment of soldiers was waiting for them. The two sides stepped forward for a brief communication, and a soldier drove their car away for further inspection, while Wu Qinyuan and the three accepted the comparison of voiceprints and fingerprints, and after confirming that it was correct, the officer led the group of three people inside. Taking advantage of the time to be inspected, Wu Qinyuan briefly observed the surroundings, and was surprised to find that his position was actually excavated from a reinforced concrete wall more than 20 meters thick and more than 10 meters high. And on the top of the invisible wall, I don't know how many bright posts and secret posts are ambushed, if it is not for this section but the entire wall surrounding the port is so high and thick, then this amount of work is inevitably too terrifying. Ten years ago, he met Ren Yuan for the last time in the temporary detention center, and although he knew that Ren Yuan was being transferred and held in a military facility, he did not expect it to be such a place.

The trio walked through the simple and cold barracks and stepped into an elevator that moved underground in a low, stocky building. Then they got into an open-top military vehicle and entered a long tunnel, and Wu Qinyuan roughly estimated that they should be driving at the bottom of the sea at this moment. Then he entered a downward elevator, he didn't know how many meters they had dived, although he could feel that the elevator was moving fast, but it didn't stop.

"Now we are heading to the place where Ren Yuan is being held, which was originally a secret nuclear test facility, and the only exit is the one we just walked through. The main facility is excavated below 80 meters below the seabed, and is covered with seawater at a depth of more than 240 meters. We just passed through the only passage to the ground, and if we blew it up, no one would be able to leave the undersea tomb. The lieutenant briefly introduced the three men.

Eventually, they came to a heavy, lead-clad mechanical door, surrounded by facilities built to deal with a nuclear explosion, with dangerous symbols visible everywhere. Although all the nuclear facilities have been dismantled, the slogans and the thick and sturdy architectural style still give people a huge pressure on the pavement.

"The entire facility is divided into four floors, except for the fourth floor, which was originally used as a heavy pollution test area and a nuclear material accumulation area, which is now completely closed. The remaining three floors are currently holding a total of 23 Inhumans with a Hazard Level of J1, and Ren Yuan, who you are going to see today, is being held on the lowest floor. The lieutenant introduced as he led the three of them deeper into the field. The whole facility is like a huge and complex labyrinth, and every intersection looks exactly the same, only the monotonous cement color. You can also see many traces of what was supposed to be an indicator sign covered in lime. It was also thanks to the fact that the lieutenant was able to quickly lead them through these labyrinthine roads, and if it weren't for the different appearances of the sentinels he met along the way, Wu Qinyuan even thought that the lieutenant had just been taking them around in a closed loop.

The path of the four of them did not pass through the area where the strangers were held, and they could see a lot of clean and tidy empty rooms along the way, and the number of guards patrolling was not as large as Wu Qinyuan imagined, so it didn't look very dangerous.

"We are now passing through the original living quarters, which are not suitable for detention. The Inhumans are all held in their former work area, where they can withstand small-scale nuclear explosions and radiation. As if to see the confusion in the eyes of the three men, the lieutenant explained with a smile, "We went straight down from the elevator in the living area to the second floor, and then we had to cross the entire living area on the second floor and then reach the elevator to the third floor. Originally, there were several passages in the living quarters that could lead directly to the third floor, but after they were converted into facilities for incarcerating Inhumans, they were all closed, leaving only two elevators for indirect communication. ”

Although the three of them wanted to say something, there was an unexpectedly deep and suffocating pressure here, which made people unconsciously slow down their steps and lower their voices, and then remain silent. The two commissioners, Zhang and Li, were not talkative people, and Wu Qinyuan felt very stressed when he came to this kind of place for the first time. Along the way, only the lieutenant introduced a few words to the three of them from time to time to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Are all Inhumans dangerous? To be so closely guarded? I think it's easy for a normal person to be locked up here for a long time, right? Wu Qinyuan finally asked out loud, this time he came to see Ren Yuan to assess whether he could be demoted to the J2 level and enter the battle, but this kind of detention environment made him very worried about his state of mind.

Commissioner Zhang explained aloud: "The Inhumans who are rated as J1 are all dangerous, but they are in a stable state and do not need to be forcibly erased. They don't have to be destructive, but they can't be allowed to come into contact with ordinary people anyway. They are often out of control or on the verge of losing control at any time, and their thoughts and emotions cannot be measured by common sense. ”

"Yes, actually, for most of the Inhumans sent here, this environment is more reassuring and calming. Most of the Inhumans who are locked up here have a hard time understanding and communicating properly, but they tend to be very stable, and we try to make sure their needs are met. The lieutenant said, "However, the Ren Yuan you are going to see today is different. ”

"How so? Do you think he will be able to integrate into normal life? Commissioner Zhang asked

"Well, how can I say it... His behavior was so normal, so normal that it was frightening. To be honest, at first glance, he looks like an optimistic and sunny ordinary person, and it is not difficult to communicate with him. I think that as long as he controls his diet, he will have no problem integrating into normal society. We even pulled a fiber optic to him at his request and equipped it with a computer, which is even more disturbing than those inhumans whose mental state is difficult to fathom, and his normal state is as normal as ordinary people, and it has lasted for ten years. The lieutenant groaned for a moment and said solemnly

"It's not surprising, it's only been ten years, and it's not hard for a monster like him." Commissioner Li opened his mouth rarely, and said in a hoarse voice

"Ladies and gentlemen, the place ahead of you is where Ren Yuan is being held." As they spoke, everyone had arrived at their destination.

It is a former nuclear test facility, a converted cell, with two rooms made of heavy reinforced concrete and lead plate refractory bricks connected by a narrow circular passageway. Through the heavy special glass, you can see that behind the opposite glass is a tight curtain.

"He slept?" Commissioner Zhang asked

"No, he's supposed to be playing with the computer at this time." The lieutenant said with a smile and pressed the pager by the window. Soon the opposite curtain was pulled from the inside, and a figure appeared by the window

"Yo, Company Commander Feng, what did you call me?" A brisk and enthusiastic voice came from the communicator

"The commissioner of the ministry came to see you." The lieutenant said into the communicator by the window

The figure on the opposite side raised his head and looked this way, and after glancing around, he stopped on Wu Qinyuan's face

The communicator sounded again, but it had lost the lightness it had begun, and it had become low, revealing a vicissitudes of life.

"Yo, Old Wu? Long time no see. ”
